[Fed Collins: If the data is as expected, it would be appropriate to start easing policy "soon"] Golden Finance reported that Fed Collins: If the data is as expected, it would be appropriate to start easing policy "soon". Whoever enters the White House will have absolutely no impact on my assessment of the state of the economy, my outlook for the future, or the policies I think are appropriate. I expect interest rates to be lower in a few years. We will release a new summary of economic forecasts in September, which will include the outlook of the 19 FOMC members based on the data we have seen so far. It will include our outlook for interest rates at the end of 2024, 2025, and 2026. I do expect that we will see some easing of monetary policy in the coming years. But how much, when, and how fast the adjustments will be will be determined by the data.
